Woo Hoo...Let the Summer Fun Begin...

Classes are over...I passed my test...fun may now commence. I am exhausted emotionally and intellectually, but am so glad the semester is over for now. I plan to make the most of each day of my summer break. It will be great to see some of you over the break and if any of you are in our area, please let us know...our doors are always open and the grill is usually fired up and ready to go!

Coming To An End

Our semester is finally coming to an end. I have learned so much and have grown in my nursing knowledge. It is with joy that I look forward to the summer break coming up. I have a few loose ends to complete for the official end of the semester, including my major final on Monday. This will be a major hurdle to pass... Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers!



The pictures below give you a glimpse into our routines at the hospital. We are all getting ready to do pt care on our last day of clincial. We meet in a small lounge for preconference and then attend postconference in another room in the hospital after pt care and passing of meds is completed.

Sucker Fishin' at Midnight

Jerome took Andrew and Jordy up north this weekend to do some fishing. Friday and Saturday nights they spent near the local criks with nets, waders, water and laughter catching fish. Jerome's brother Steve accompanied them which was nice to have an extra adult to help out...and Jerome was able to man the camera. In all they caught about 10 - 12 fish. Jerome said they had a great time..getting into bed between 2-3am each night/morning.

Is It Time Yet?????

As we eagerly wait for signs of summer we resign to peudo-signs of spring. Summer will bring many trips with our new RV out to campgrounds around MI. The day brought the camper home was brisk and sunny, but it snowed about 1 inch the next day. The weather seems to just be teasing us W. Michiganders... It seems like it's been a long stretch of cold weather this winter, but summer is almost here. I think we are bypassing spring altogether.



Me and my honey!

Nursing School Nightmares

Hey there...a small update is all I can afford. I am in the middle toward end of my semester/seven weeks and it is giving me nightmares. I only have 2 more weeks of MedSurg lecture and clinical and 3 more weeks of my Transcultural Nursing, but there is much to do....will update more later...
